im not sure wat exactly ill use for flares atm, im thinking some kind of half metal/tube flares with rubber extensions so if i touch something with the flare it wont pop off or damage to much of the panel.
when im finished im planning to run 33s (centipedes when its muddy and baja claws at other times lol!)
i have 4.56 ratios in my arb locked d30, i also have axle sleeves and RCVs to install
4.56 ratios in my detroit locked ford 8.8 (from an explorer)
i have a 3.5 inch RE lift kit with extended shackles in the back and rancho 5000 shocks.
i have the iron rock HD OTK steering kit (ill get a photo of this and upload it.
i still have to trim the back fenders, i think for the moment ill trim to the spot welds, then i cut perpendictular to the edge and then hammer the edge in to get another 20mm of space in the wheel arch (thats wat i did with my old xj). at a later date if i need/want to i might cut further and have to rejoin the wheel arch to the inner arch but i dont think it will be a major problem.
i think i also will need to get a SYE and DC driveshaft, i got away with it in the old xj, but i have moved the rear axle back about 30mm and the driveshaft donst reach anymore (also the 95 seems to have a different TC or atleast TC output shaft).
when i rolled my other xj, i busted my swaybar disconnects, i was wondering if i should get more, or just remove the sway bar alltogether...
i must stress this is gonna be a offroad car only, im only gonna be driving to and from 4x4 areas, and i drive like a old woman at the best of times (if i wanted u hoon about i wouldnt of bought a jeep...).
anyway, ill get some photos off my camera of the car from before i started and a few more progress pics.
